The Bike the Border Act aims to make it easier for people to cross the border on bicycles or by walking. This is important for promoting non-motorized travel and improving access at the Gordie Howe International Bridge.
1. This bill requires U.S. Customs and Border Protection to improve bicycle and pedestrian border crossings. 2. The improvements must be made at the Gordie Howe International Bridge within one year. 3. A report on the progress of these improvements will be submitted 18 months after the bill is enacted. 4. The report will include recommendations for further facilitating non-motorized crossings. 5. It will also suggest incentives to encourage more people to use bicycles and walk across the border.
